Joe Rushing - Carpet & Upholstery Care

Q. I heard that using this cleaning method wears out the carpet faster than water extraction, is that true?

A. HOST triples the life span of your carpeting if applied correctly. The only way HOST can be slightly abrasive is if it were applied after the carpets are steamed cleaned. Some inexperienced people cleaning carpets may use a wet method to clean up the stains and dirt first; then use the HOST method on top of the wet carpeting. This is not the way to clean with HOST and can cause a change in texture.
